MAIL TRIBUNE Large Balloon Spotted 36,000 Feet Over Area A bright, luminous object spotted over the Medford area at about 5 p.m. yesterday was a clear plastic balloon, floating at about 36,000 feet, according to airport sources and Guy Vinson, astronomer at Camp White. Vinson said the balloon was funnel shaped. The local wea ther bureau reported it was not one of their balloons and ex pressed the opinion that it may have been released by military sources. A jet pilot flying over this area at about 5 p.m. reported it was at the 36,000 foot level at that time. SOC Enrollment Said Stabilized Ashland Summer session at- ! tendance figures indicate that I Southern Oregon college's rapid i growth within the last few years has assumed a permanent status, according to President Elmo N. Stevenson. "In spite of the falling enroll ment of veterans whose govern ment benefits have been exhaust ed, our total enrollment for the summer is down only one and two-tenths per cent," Dr. Steven son said. He also pointed out that there was no "forced enroll ment" as on the preceding year by those who had to meet the July 1 deadline for the awarding of three-year diplomas. From that date on, according to Dr. Stevenson, a BS degree will be awarded under a four-year cur riculum plan. Including the" post sessions, total enrollment for the summer was 635. ctqfflitift I yourself... - wire helper) 5 Durable, n resistant- with ham merod finish.

Friday, August 19, 1955 Army Man Refused Purchase of Home; Ancestry Blamed Garden Grove, Calif. (U.R) Two-time U.S. Olympic diving champion Dr. Sammy Lee was denied a chance to buy a home in a land development because of his Korean ancestry, it was learn ed today. Mrs. Leota Johnston, wife of the land developer, D. E. John ston, said they turned Lee and his expectant wife down "two or three months ago" because of the "financial risk involved." "We've invested just about everything we've got in this, and to sell it to someone, like that could put a damper on a good number of other sales," Mrs. Johnston said. Lee now is a major in the Army Medical Corps stationed at Camp Carson, Colo. The development in which Lee tried to buy a home consists of 16 lots amid an orange grove. Johnston is building three-bedroom homes ranging in value from 527,000 to S30,000 on the lots and selling them to care fully screened buyers, Mrs. John ston said. Five homes have been built so far. "As far as we ourselves are concerned," Mrs. Johnston said, "we would have no objections to havitjg the Lees as our neighbors, but anyone spending that much money for a home would think twice." Johnston is a 34-year-old Navy veteran, Mrs. Johnston said. He was a contractor before opening up the development. In a copyrighted story, the San Francisco Chronicle said that Lee on two occasions was turned down in his efforts to buy a home in the area. Schmidt To File Own Divorce Suit Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) Airman Daniel Schmidt will per sonally file his own divorce pa pers at a secret location, it was revealed today. The divorce suit will charge Una Schmidt with "extreme cruelty" and will demand cus tody of Schmidt's young son, Daniel Jr. There will be no mention of adultry or bigamy in the suit. Howard P. Welch, attorney for 23-year-old Schmidt, said earlier "We will not drag Una's name through the mud." The decision for Danny to personally carry his papers to the courthouse added a dramatic touch to the stories of a modern day "Enoch Arden." Schmidt will come out of hiding in the Sacramento area to file the papers. From the Trailer House Burns Near Central Point Central Point A small trail er house at the Dale Higinboth am home, Central Point Market rd., was destroyed by fire yes terday afternoon. The trailer was not occupied except for use as a playhouse, Central Point rural firemen re oorted. They said the cause of ie fire was not determined. Rural firemen extinguished a small fire at the V. R. Stickel home also yesterday. The fire involved grass, a fence and stored lumber. An incinerator spark was thought to have start ed the blaze, firemen stated. One rural truck was on stand by service this morning while West Side school officials burn ed off grass on the playground. SATURDAY NIGHT EAGLE The Only Spring Floor in Southern Oregon DANCE TO THE COMBINED MUSIC OF DICK SPAIN, BILL LIVELY and The Rogue Valley Boys Featuring--- Bob Burton, Harold Williams Ray Hanson and Leo Villarino Pah Released From Jail After Fine Payed Two men jailed here this week on a charge of possession of un tagged venison have been re leased following payment of fines.

All three were fined $75 and costs in district court. The three men told the court they accidentally struck and se riously injured the deer with a car. They said they then killed the animal with a gun and were bringing it in to officials in Med ford when they were picked up. Prospect Welcomes New Business Fjrm Prospect Local residents welcomed another new business into their community this week when they attended an open house at Mill Creek Falls Cafe. The. area, growing rapidly, now contains about 3,500 peo ple. A good climate and beautiful scenery, especially this time of the year, have helped in draw ing visitors and future residents to the valley. Fishermen, attracted by the Rogue's fast, tumbling waters, have traveled from all parts ot Oregon to fill their creels. As an aid to fishermen, the Oregon state game commission has planted 40,000 legal-size trout in the upper portions of the river in both 1954 and 1955. Timber produced in the area is declared to be an important product . for the entire valley. 72,000,000 board feet have been harvested annually from the U.S. lands, and another 30,000, 000 board feet are cut from private lands. filing, he was to turn and head for Portland Ore., to see his mother, Mrs. Nellie Peters. Speculation persisted that Una might try to contact Danny there for a reconciliation. Schmidt has recently flatly opposed reconcil iation.
